 Cleopatra's Wedding Present: Travels Through Syria by Robert Tewdwr MossCleopatra's Wedding Present is Robert Tewdwr Moss's honest and entertaining account of his travels in the fascinating, mysterious and often disturbing country of Syria. More than just a travel book, this is a story of life and love, from blue-eyed boys serving tea amongst the "souks, " to cocktail parties in Tellal. Though Syria has begun to open itself up to the foreign traveler, for many of us it remains a sinister and forbidding destination. As the most idle and easy-going of explorers, Robert Tewdwr Moss side-steps danger to muse on the ironies of life and love. He discovers a place of contrasts: from concrete esplanades and all-seeing electronic eyes, to deserted back streets and mud-bricked houses. The author's Syria is a dour, disturbing, but compelling land, a place that attracts the oddest characters and where the oddest things happen. 252 pages - 8" x 5" - (9/03)
